Strictly star Will Bayley 'storms off' It Takes Two after host's joke at partner Janette Manrara

Strictly star Will Bayley stormed off set when appearing on spin off show It Takes Two.

The Paralympian table tennis player was pretending to be furious when joining presenter Zoe Ball and his dance partner Janette Manrara.

While discussing Janette's incredible highly-scored Salsa in 2014, the trio watched some of it on the screen next to them.

Seeing how well Janette's dancer partner Jake Wood had performed with her, Will appeared to throw in the towel, thinking he would never reach that standard.

Discussing the Salsa, Zoe said: “As a Latin sensation, Janette is a bit good at this dance.”

How could you forget the Mambo Number 5 with Jake Wood, look away now Will, look at the human juggling that went on!

“It is still amazing to this day how you did that,” the host continued.

Watching it back, Janette said: “I think it was because I didn’t know what I was doing at that point, it was so early on.”

“It’s just ridiculous,” the presenter gushed.

Covering Will's eyes, Janette reassured him: You're amazing, Will!"

Pretending to feel envious of Jake, Will stood up from his seat and pretended to match off the set.

"See you later" he said to the Zoe and Janette.

Smiling, he then turned around and returned to his seat, while giggling Janette repeated: "You are amazing!" as she tried to repair his self esteem.

Strictly's professionals have teased an upcoming dance for tomorrow's show which looks scorchingly hotter than ever.

Oti Mabuse, Gorka Marquez and Graziano di Prima will take centre stage in a sizzling Flamenco dance featuring a love triangle.

The fiery Spanish performance is based on the story of Carmen and sees a woman caught in between the intense love of two passionate men.

"She is madly in love with Graziano," Oti explained on It Takes Two today as they revealed a sneak preview. "But she also doesn't realise that Gorka is also in love with her.

"It's all about love, but when love is too much and it goes wrong."

Speaking from the ballroom, Gorka said: "It's maybe a little bit dramatic for a family show."

Dramatic scenes of Oti twirling away from Graziano into Gorka's arms were aired beneath intense lighting.

"It's very passionate, intense," Kevin Clifton said. "Basically watch out for Oti getting chucked around all over the place!"

However Oti admitted that practising the dance had been "very stressful" because her last position in the performance should see her land in the centre, but she kept landing off-centre.

She quipped: "On the night, hopefully I'll land in the right spot!"
